They have a very attracting sparkle, Ginnie.
Ginnie: Thank you, kind sir.
They are beautiful crystal decanters Ginnie... and you made them look so much better with the reflections that you captured....petersmile
Ginnie: Thank you, Peter. You'd have a heyday in that shop/museum!

Fabulous picture, love the DOF and the crisp reflections. A sparkling image indeed smile
We sure had fun in this place.
Ginnie: Hartstikke bedankt, MLMA. This place still amazes me. I want to take all our visitor there because it's more a museum than a shop!
I love the shines / distortions / reflections - it's gorgeous in B&W - brings out the details I'm sure!
Ginnie: Thank you, dear Elizabeth. B&W did seem the way to go. smile

Clear as crystal as we used to say Ginnie. Beautifully captured here by your fair hand.
Ginnie: I like that, Chad..."clear as crystal." It would have made a great title. Where were you when I needed you!
Shapely shimmering shining show-offs.

Delightful Ginnie.
Ginnie: Thank you kindly, Richard.

The reflections on the glass look great in B&W Ginnie
Ginnie: Thank you kindly, Sarah!
Very nice image Ginnie, but next time try to fill them with some colorful spirits, pls grin
Ginnie: HAHA. I'll gladly oblige you the next time, Juan Carlos. smile
...empty decanters though ;-)
Fine bright glass!
Ginnie: Ready to be filled, Wim! smile Bedankt.
Love all the sparkle in those decanters, Ginnie! Beautiful shot in B&W smile

A wonderful still life; perfect in black/white. The decanters just sparkle - makes me want to join you and Astrid for a glass of wine.
Ginnie: Ohhhhhh. Please come over right away, Sue!!!!! smile Wouldn't that be fun!
you've captured all the delicacy and cleaning of the glass. the black and white that is doing very well ...
Ginnie: Thank you, Memoria. I love this kind of stuff. smile
Ha ha... Can't wait till the weekend, G!
Let's get real drunk so we can see you dance again. ;o)
Ginnie: Mid-week is kinda like getting over the hump, LC. smile Thanks for the smile.
WOW! An incredible capture! I'm hoping to get to those photos today in my collection. But I know I don't have anything that compares to this one. Beautiful Ginnie!! And even more special that I was there! xoxo
Ginnie: I love that all of these images remind me of your time with us, Robin. I'll never forget it! Thank you.
A triumph in light and glass Ginnie. Wonderful
Ginnie: Thank you kindly, dear, Janet.
Oh yes I really like this Ginnie, what one might call "Candid Tabletop" it not having been set up especially.
Ginnie: You would love this place, Brian. Thank you. smile
Now that's what I call crystal clear. The B&W treatment showcases their sparkling brilliance superbly, Ginnie.
Ginnie: Another good title, Beverly: Ctystal Clear! Chad's was Clear as Crystal! smile Too bad I wasn't in a creative title mode! smile Thanks.

Enough work so far this week or us all? Or enough drink for us all? if it's the former, then yes otherwise NO, NEVER! LOL. I like the sparkle you've captured.
Ginnie: Well, now that you've asked!!!! grin You'd love this place, Alan, and would agree there is in indeed enough for us all. smile

You emptied those bottles during the break?

B&W is an excellent choice here - it lifts the glittering of the glass out.
Ginnie: We all emptied them, Louis. smile Thanks.
So crystal clear Ginnie! Wonderful image.
Ginnie: Crystal clear. I love it, Richard. smile
A fine BW capture and contrasting foreground and background forms Ginnie.
Ginnie: Thank you, kind sir.

Cooool! Magic capture - love it! Looks a bit like some little shop in Antwerpen♥♥♥
Ginnie: I understand there's a beer shop in Antwerp, the Kulminator, that's similar to this, Luiza, and maybe that's what you're talking about? I want to visit it one day! It's a great place for the camera! smile
Fantastic photograph, I like such ideas. I am greeting
Ginnie: Thank you kindly, Zielona.
Such a crisp scintillating image of this set of sparkling clean decanters... yes, lets take a relaxing break and sip some wine Ginnie :^)
